I Heart Makeup - Brows Kit Review :)

Hey guys, so i have another review today and this is the Brow Kit by I Heart Makeup. I Heart Makeup is a cheap line of makeup that is owned by the brand Makeup Revolution. I seriously love all of their products as you can tell by all of the other reviews i have done haha. So lets get into it :)

First of this product comes with 3 different shades of powder for the eyebrows, light, medium and dark and it also comes with a wax too (the white one.) The kit also includes a little brush to apply the product and some little tweezers.

I do really like this product, i use the wax and the powder at the same time. So what i do is pick some of the wax up on the brush that is provided and then put some of the darker colour on the brush and just outline my brows with this and also fill the end of my brow in then i take more wax and the medium colour and fill the start of my brows in with that.

I think this product works really well. It is also very easy to use! I did try use the tweezers but they wouldn't actually grab any hairs which wasn't really good but they do look cute haha. 

Overall i do really like this product and i do use it everyday now instead of using the essential mattes eye shadow palette by Makeup Revolution. I will be repurchasing this when i run out but i think it will be a quite long time before i run out. If you want to check this product out just click here


I hope this review will help someone out there and if you have any requests of products you would like me to review just leave a comment below. I would also love to hear your opinions on this product so let me know in the comments :)

Another Drugstore Haul :)

Hey guys, i got a few products from Superdrug in the January sale so i thought i would do a little haul to show you what i got :)

Firstly i got this Studio gift set. It comes with 6 different brushes, a little mirror, 3 nail files and a little case to put it all in. There are 2 face brushes, 3 eye brushes and a eyebrow comb. I only really got this because of how cheap it actually was haha. I don't need any of the brushes but for the price that it was down to, i couldn't say no. 
Next i got this Awesome pout and gloss collection by Makeup Revolution. This comes with 3 lip crayons, a gloss and a compact mirror. The crayons are soo creamy and really nice and pigmented and there is a pink, red and a nude colour. I am quite happy with this set that i got :)

Lastly was the cheapest product that i got and i am so happy that i found this, this was the last one in stock and i think it was down from around £12 to £1.99, so i had to get it! This is the Big Smoke by Studio and it has 5 different eye shadows, a eyeliner and a mascara and a little application brush. These colours are really pigmented and i think that 2 of them are cream shadows and the other are powder. I can't wait to use this and do a really nice smokey eye!!

That's it guys, sorry its short i just wanted to show you the things i got in the sale, i also got a big Soap and Glory set but i have sort of near enough used all of the products that came in it and i didn't take any pictures...oops.

Thanks for reading and i will see you next time :)

Changing My Hair :)

Hey guys, today i have quite a different post for you. So basically i wanted to change my hair colour seeing as i have had pink hair for quite a long time so i wanted something different. I will include some pictures of before and after and also some pictures whilst i was in the process of doing my hair. I just want to apologise for the posts that i have done this past week, i have had a lot of overtime at work because of the holidays and i haven't had any time to write posts so i have been uploading pre-written posts (reviews). Hopefully i will start getting more time to write better posts :)

So first off i started like this -

As i wanted to go a light purple colour and i had bright pink hair i had to bleach my hair first. I used the Total Bleach by Bleach London.  I applied this all over my hair starting at the back and working my way through. I did have a bit of a dilemma when i was bleaching my hair because i actually ran out of bleach with around 1/4 of my hair left to do so my mum ended up running to boots for me haha..thanks mum. 

Once the bleach was on i left it for around 30 - 40 minuets and then washed it all of with warm water and applied the conditioner that comes within the kit. After it was all washed off i then went in with the White Toner also by Bleach London. I used this to take all the yellow tones out of my hair, you will be able to see it in the picture above.

After i applied this i left it on around 25 minuets and then washed it off. Next i mixed up my colour that i wanted to go, i used Crazy Color in Lavender and a little of the Lilac colour i had left over and a little of white conditioner just to dilute it. you can see what colour it ended up when i mixed it below. I only used two bottles of lavender and half a bottle of lilac.

 I applied this everywhere and left it on for around 45 minuets and then washed it off and conditioned my hair. I did have another problem with doing my hair. The dye didn't take to the roots on the top of my head and it just ended up a silver colour but i couldn't re-do it as it was new years eve and i had to be at a party within the next hour so i just left it. The next day i redyed it using the 2 bottles of left over lavender colour and a bit of conditioner and applied it to my hair again and i left it on for just over an hour. Again the rest of my hair took perfectly but the roots on my head didn't but the dye did tint it a bit so it wasn't as bad as before. 


You cant actually tell on these pictures that the roots are lighter because i dye my hair when it is in a middle parting and then when i bring my fringe over you can only see the purple. 
(sorry about the picture on the right, its the only picture i have with my hair done and it was taken after a night out...oops) 





Hope you all liked this post and thanks for reading :)

First Impression - The Body Shop Insta-Blur :)

Hey guys, so as you can tell by the title i will be doing a first impression on The Body Shop's Insta-Blur primer. I got this at Christmas and i have never used it before so i thought i would do a quick first impressions for you.

First off the consistency, it is so hard to describe the consistency of this product, it is sort of like a gel. So i used this on Christmas Day and my makeup lasted all day, i dont know if that was the primer or the new foundation i used but both are amazing. 

So when i rubbed this into my skin i felt amazing, like some primers i have used make my skin feel quite sticky or clogged up but this seems to sink into the skin and it feels super soft after. I have used this with my normal foundation that i use and the foundation seemed to blend out and sit on the skin a lot better than it normally does with a different primer. 

My first impression of this was amazing, the fact that my makeup didn't budge all day and my skin felt super soft after using it. I think this is going to creep its way into my everyday makeup routine haha.  So overall i do really like this product and i just want to see if it will make my everyday foundation last longer than normal!

Hope you enjoyed reading this post and i would love to know what you think about this product so leave a comment below to let me know. Thanks for reading guys, see you next time :)

Makeup Revolution - Essential Mattes Palette Review :)

Hey guys I have a Makeup Revolution review today...again haha. This time it is going to be one of their palettes and they have a lot! This one is only £4 which is really cheap for 12 totally different shades. So lets just get on with what i think :)

This palette is well used as you will be able to see on the picture at the bottom of the post. It has a range of colours ranging from light to dark. It has your typical brown and black shades and your very light shades but it also has some purple and blue thrown in there too. 

I think this palette is amazing if you love a nice matte smokey eye. I have got to admit i do use two of the shades to fill in my eyebrows (the ones i have hit pan on). But these two colours are just amazing for my eyebrows and the fact that they are matte shades is even better because i can use them for anything. You will have seen this palette mentioned in my previous posts. 

This is one of them products that you literally can't go wrong with. At first i wasn't too sure on it because i found it hard to blend the shadows but then i got a new brush and now they work perfectly and they blend really well with each other. 

Overall i have got to say that is my go to palette for any makeup look. I am honestly in love with this and i will definitely be repurchasing this. Take a look at it on their website here.

Hope this review helps anyone out there and if you have this product yourself i would love to know what you think about it, let me know in the comments below :)
